Synopsis

American-born photographer Waswo X. Waswo has worked with a team of Indian artists to playfully recreate and examine the tradition of vintage studio portraiture. Chis chief accomplice is Rajesh Soni, a third generation Rajasthani hand-colourist whose grandfather was court photographer to the Maharana Bhopal Singh of Mewar. Soni's careful and highly skilled painting adds a vintage feel to work that hovers enigmatically between the retro and the contemporary. Men of Rajasthan contains 50 images, annotated with delightful commentary by the photographer himself. It uncovers the male-centric universe of a uniquely mysterious place.
